for starters, Singapore isn't full of crazy chinese pirates in the past. sure, there were pirates, but not like those pirates shown in Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
I found out about mika when i walked into HMV and they were playing the Love Today music video on a really large screen, but i didn't know his name! so i went home, and typed the following keywords into the google search bar:
"crazy, male, pop singer, curly hair"
eventually i found him on youtube, and subsequently went crazy.
and i think his interviews on youtube are really interesting!
